Liu Lang did not return to his residence in the evening, but took Chen Yunfa and Zeng Shui to live directly at the independent group's station not far from Pukou Station.
Although the conditions of the station are compared with those of the Central Hotel, with clouds of mud in the sky and mud on the ground, the long-lost smell of the military camp, the long-lost smell of sweat and feet, Liu Lang slept particularly soundly on the camp bed.
.
Not to mention that he slept soundly alone, even the two orderly and signal soldiers slept much more soundly.
In fact, at the moment when the regimental commander returns, the word "steadiness" does not apply to the entire independent regiment.
When the train passed the Zhengzhou-Jinpu line, the regiment headquarters headed by Zhang Ruhao had already issued a notice to all officers and soldiers of the regiment that they were going to the southeast this time and would participate in the Battle of Songhu.
At this time, the independent regiment had no new recruits after the battle in Shandong. Including the additional northern officers and soldiers and the newly established Shameless Battalion, all of them were veterans who had experienced the war. But they still felt trembling.
Songhu is not the enemy of Jindong, and it is not an enemy with only one division. Songhu has gathered nearly a million troops from both sides, dozens of warships, thousands of fighter planes, and thousands of cannons. Just thinking about it
I can't help but feel a little numb on the battlefield.
Along the way, not to mention the soldiers' faces slumped tightly and holding their guns with their own thoughts, even the officers' faces were rarely smiling.
It stands to reason that Old Monkey is definitely one of the guys who gained the most in this battle of Jindong. Although his third squad suffered heavy casualties, he was the only one left who was shot in the arm, but it passed through the flesh without hurting the tendon.
The injury was considered a minor injury, but the four seriously injured ones were rescued and transported back to Guangyuan without dying. The entire infantry squad received several "Fearless" military medals, not to mention two "Hero" military medals, which were placed in the
In the entire Independent Regiment, his third squad was also unique, and because of this, he became an officer from a sergeant to the position of deputy platoon leader.
If we put it in the past, seven officers and soldiers from the Blue Army brigade and six officers and soldiers from the north were recruited to reorganize the squad leader of the third squad. No, to be precise, the deputy platoon leader and squad leader of the third squad might have already started trading in the carriage.
Whether it is betting on whether Battalion Commander Zhao of the Artillery Battalion will sneak away to see his wife in the field hospital carriage at night, or whether Battalion Commander Ling of the Panshi Battalion will sit in the joint of the carriage and play a bamboo flute, anyway, the old gambler will definitely have many tricks to open the market.
.
However, the old monkey spent the three or four days in the carriage in extreme silence. The most important thing he did was to clean the gun and make his semi-automatic rifle bright, even removing every bullet from the bullet.
Take them out of the bag, wipe them clean carefully, and then put them into the magazine one by one.
Although they are an army that has fought hundreds of battles, they are still nervous when facing a battle far beyond their imagination.
The officers at the battalion commander level and above in the independent regiment were not as nervous as ordinary officers and soldiers, but they also gathered in the carriage for several nights in a row for meetings. Of course, the content of the meeting was not whether to fight or not, nor how to fight, but to study
The terrain of Songhu and even Jiangsu and Zhejiang was what Liu Lang had told Zhang Ruhao before leaving. All battalion and company-level officers in the regiment must be familiar with the map of the Songhu area and even the surrounding areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Nanjing.
Although the officers also consciously tried to ease the nervousness of the officers and soldiers, such as organizing competitions to sing military songs in each carriage, but with Liu Lang's absence, the entire independent regiment seemed to be missing something.
I am afraid that the most relaxed ones in the group are Xiong Er and Xiong Si, two brothers named Wolf and Xiong. As a proud wolf, Xiong Er sits in a convertible version of Rolls-Royce Tri-Bouncer and "goes for a ride to see the scenery" with his mouth wide open.
I was very happy, but I was tired of riding on such a boring train. I almost fell asleep along the way. However, Xiong Si squatted at the large iron door of the carriage that was not completely closed and looked at the scenery for a long time. When he saw
When he was excited, he took out a piece of beef jerky from his vest pocket and chewed it for a while. He didn't feel nervous about participating in a battle at all.
However, whether he was nervous or excited, when Liu Lang returned to the station, all these emotions were swept away, and he just went to work. The officers and soldiers of the Shame Camp were busy getting familiar with their new equipment and replenishing the company of new recruits.
The commanders at all levels of the squad are busy integrating their respective soldiers and teaching them who should do what on the battlefield. It is already the 23rd, and they will leave for Songhu hundreds of miles away at some time, leaving them time to integrate the team.
Running out.
As soon as Liu Lang arrived at the regiment headquarters, he first convened a meeting of all major-level officers. He briefly arranged the repair tasks that had arrived in Nanjing in the past few days and then adjourned the meeting, leaving only Liang Wenzhong, the chief officer of the logistics department, and Yu Xiancheng, the captain of the special operations brigade.
At least four of the seven detachments of the Special Operations Brigade left the station and headed for Songhu in a starry night. The moment the Logistics Department came back from Liang Wenzhong, the highest combat readiness order was activated. All personnel of the Logistics Department were dispatched, carrying cash to purchase
Steel plates, sleepers and barbed wire, no matter how many, were hauled to the independent regiment's station as long as they were needed. Engineers working with the logistics department were also busy reinforcing steel plates on all the trucks seized and brought from Shandong.
Liu Lang just ordered no matter what they did. He first had to deal with the interview with the supreme commander of the country.
In the early morning, a special car sent by the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs took Liu Lang to the reception room of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs. It was not until nearly three o'clock in the afternoon that Wang Shihe hurriedly walked in from the outside and apologized repeatedly: "Captain Liu, I have been waiting for a long time.
Wait, the principal is busy with work and just confirmed that he has half an hour. Please come with me now."
What is an official formula? This is it. If Liu Lang really took the polite words seriously, it would be a slap in the face. Liu Lang was naturally not that stupid, even if he was already getting angry from waiting.
Not only did he have an indifferent smile on his face, he also took out a long wooden box about one meter long from the backpack he was carrying and said: "This is a gift from the generals on the eastern Shanxi front to the Chairman. I also ask the commander to help deliver it on my behalf."
."
"Oh?" Wang Shihe opened it in front of Liu Lang without any scruples.
This is what the captain of the guard should do most. If he doesn't open it, Liu Lang will take it back. Do you think that "express delivery" does not need to be X-rayed? Especially when it is delivered to the leader of a country.
After opening the items and looking at the items inside, Wang Shihe showed a smile on his face and said, "Okay! Commander Liu is interested. I will collect them for the Chairman. I will personally hand them over to the Chairman later."
It is not far from the Ministry of Military Affairs to the Military Commission, the highest authority in China. Under the leadership of Wang Shihe, it only takes ten minutes to walk. After passing three checkpoints, although Wang Shihe's "business card" is unimpeded, Liu Lang still
He was inspected three times, from head to toe. The military spurs and self-defense pistols he carried had long been left for the first checkpoint. Liu Lang was not wearing the camouflage combat uniform of the Independent Regiment, but the uniform and riding boots of the National Army. Naturally, he was also
There are no necessary bits and pieces necessary for combat, which actually reduces a lot of trouble.
Otherwise, looking at the guards who were carefully inspecting their collars, cuffs, and riding boots, Liu Lang knew that it would probably take half an hour just to explain to them, so today's wait would be in vain.
It's not that easy to meet the leader of a country.
In a quiet little living room on the second floor of the small building with the sign of the Military Commission, Liu Lang met the famous supreme ruler of the Republic of China.
The bald man was wearing a dark green uniform that did not match the rank of a general. He was tall and tall. Although he was not very tall and was about the same size as Liu Lang, his thin figure and aura of leadership made it impossible for people to care about his height.
In fact, in this era when people are generally not very tall, a height of 1.7 meters is already considered tall, and a bald head without a hat is even more shining.
Judging from the appearance alone, the images of those special actors on the screen of Future Republic have not discredited this famous politician.
But none of them had the clear eyes on this slightly thin face. When he heard the noise and looked up from the document in his hand to Liu Lang, Liu Lang finally knew why he was known as the Fourth Man of the Republic of China.
Wang, a handsome man who is also a high-ranking member of the Kuomintang, did not become the supreme leader, but he was able to occupy a high position because he was only from the Youth Gang. Like Mr. Mao, they both have a pair of eyes that are so clear that they can almost see the world. They looked at each other for a long time.
If you have someone else, you can't help but be afraid that your thoughts will be known by him. I'm afraid only the person involved can know that rather mysterious and frightening feeling.
But he is slightly different from the amiable Mr. Mao. As the saying goes, his eyebrows are long and affectionate. His eyebrows, which are not too thick, and his straight nose give this leader in military uniform a colder flavor.
"Chairman, Liu Lang, the colonel commander of the 23rd Army Independent Regiment, is here." Wang Shihe reported respectfully to the bald man who was sitting on the chair and looking sideways.
"Hello, your seat!" Liu Lang took a step forward, stood at attention, held his chest out, and saluted this person to say hello.
"Oh!" The bald man didn't stand up immediately. Instead, he looked Liu Lang up and down several times before standing up. The coldness on his face softened slightly, and he raised his hand to return the greeting. He spoke in gentle Jiangsu and Zhejiang dialect, which sounded a bit feminine: "
It turns out that you are Colonel Liu who defeated me ten gold medals four years ago!"
I'm going, is this the rhythm of asking for guilt? Liu Lang didn't expect this person to be so direct. He went straight to the point and pointed out that he had disobeyed military orders and refused to return to the army four years ago. He was still thinking about how to answer, and then heard this person say again: "
Isn’t it said that you are a fat man? Why don’t I think you are fat at all, but you should be called mighty and majestic! Who is spreading rumors about you!"
"Reporting to the committee, I guess I fought in a war in Shanxi and didn't eat well, so I must have lost weight due to hunger! I am a fat man to begin with." Liu Lang replied loudly.
"Ahem!" Wang Shihe, who was standing by, coughed.
Obviously, Lang Tuanzuo's somewhat casual answers made it difficult for Captain Wang to answer the question for him.
"Haha! I lost weight because I didn't eat during the war. This is the truth. Although it doesn't sound very nice and contains a bit of complaint, it is much more pleasant to listen to than those false flattery words." Wei Wei was startled.
After that, a smile appeared on the cold face of the bald man, and he glanced at Wang Shihe who was standing aside: "Shihe! Let me serve Colonel Liu tea, and he is starving. If you don't give him a cup of tea, this will happen."
They might say something bad about me!"
"Yes!" Wang Shihe nodded in response.
Secretly, he was wiping away a cold sweat. In recent years, as the central government's influence over the country has grown stronger, and warlords in Shanxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi and other places have accepted the leadership of the central government, this boss has become more and more powerful.
Yue Zhong, Wang Shihe has never seen anyone as bold as Liu Lang in front of this person.
But I didn't expect that the effect was quite good.
Perhaps, this is also the legendary saying that if you eat too much fat, you also want to eat small green vegetables occasionally?
